AIX 432 egcs-2.93.08 fails: ld can't find libgcc.a

["David R. Favor" <dfavor at austin dot ibm dot com>]

During a build of PostgreSQL the following command gets executed:

   gcc -bE:../backend/postgres.imp -o postgres access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o
      catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o
      main/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o
      postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o
      utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -lPW -lcrypt -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm -lreadline
      -lhistory -lcurses
   ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libgcc.a
        ld:open(): No such file or directory
   ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libgcc.a
        ld:open(): No such file or directory
   gcc: file path prefix `/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/E:../backend/postgres.imp/egcs-2.93.08/' never used

If I manually execute this gcc command with '-v', the following occurs:

   Using builtin specs.
   gcc version egcs-2.93.08 19990214 (gcc2 ss-980929 experimental)
   ld -bpT:0x10000000 -bpD:0x20000000 -btextro -bnodelcsect -o postgres /lib/crt0.o
   -L/usr/local/lib access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o
   executor/SUBSYS.o lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o
   parser/SUBSYS.o port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o
   tcop/SUBSYS.o utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -lPW -lcrypt -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm -lreadline
   -lhistory -lcurses libgcc.a -lc libgcc.a
   ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libgcc.a
        ld:open(): No such file or directory
   ld: 0706-005 Cannot find or open file: libgcc.a
        ld:open(): No such file or directory

One way to get this command to succeed is to do the following:

   ld -bpT:0x10000000 -bpD:0x20000000 -btextro -bnodelcsect -o postgres /lib/crt0.o
      -L/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0/egcs-2.93.08 -L/usr/local/lib
      access/SUBSYS.o bootstrap/SUBSYS.o catalog/SUBSYS.o commands/SUBSYS.o executor/SUBSYS.o
      lib/SUBSYS.o libpq/SUBSYS.o main/SUBSYS.o nodes/SUBSYS.o optimizer/SUBSYS.o parser/SUBSYS.o
      port/SUBSYS.o postmaster/SUBSYS.o regex/SUBSYS.o rewrite/SUBSYS.o storage/SUBSYS.o tcop/SUBSYS.o
      utils/SUBSYS.o ../utils/version.o -lPW -lcrypt -lld -lnsl -ldl -lm -lreadline -lhistory -lcurses
     -lgcc -lc

Notice the addition of the -L$path to the gcc library and changing libgcc.a to -lgcc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.
